Movies do not run and cover art is missing in iTunes Mac after sync with iPad

I down load purchased movies from Apple to my iPad. The movies runs fine and cover art is visible. Great. However, after I sync with my Mac Mini, the cover art on my iPad is missing. The cover art in the iTunes library on my Mac Mini is missing, and the movies won't run on the Mac Mini. Whe I re-sync, I get a message that says the movie can't sync because it can't be found.

Is your album cover issue resolved?
If not, have you perhaps tried to disable iTunes Match on your iPhone (in Settings) and signed out of your Apple ID (on the phone)? This might work.
The issue seems to be that the iTunes Match server does not update all the tracks with the new album cover art, particularly if you added the covers some time after importing the CD's (remember then that there was no cover art on some of them!)
Another possible solution is to rename the iTunes database (.itl file) by appending say "old" (without the quotes) and recreate a new one with maybe 1 or 2 albums, wait for the server to match the tracks (you can check on your iPhone after disabling and then re-enabling iTunes Match on the phone), then delete the 1 or 2 albums so that the iTunes music library is empty and wait again; you can check the iPhone again.
Finally, quit iTunes, delete the latest database and rename the original database with its original name (by removing the "old" appendage).
Then let iTunes Match reload the server with all the information: this might take a few minutes (hours?) depending on the size of the library.
In the meantime you can remove all the music on the iPhone by disabling iTunes Match in the phone's settings.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

ITunes 12 WiFi Sync with iPad/iPhone not working

Previously with Mavericks and iTunes 11, my iPad and iPhone showed up in the side bar and I could sync from the either device. With Yosemite and iTunes 12.0.1.26, neither device shows up in iTunes 12 (That I can find). Hitting Sync Now in General/iTunes Wifi Sync on an iPhone results in a continuous "Looking for John's iMac" without ever succeeding. My iMac is connected to a current gen AP Extreme via Ethernet. I have also enabled WiFi on the iMac with no luck.
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
TIA
John

I too have been having this issue for some time. For me it's after I upgraded to Yosemite. I also have an old MacBook running Lion that syncs with my kid's old iPhone4 over WiFi. I noticed that the MacBook has no problems syncing with the iPhone4. Meanwhile, my iMac running Yosemite was having other problems. Namely, its computer name keeps getting changed by having (#) appended to the end after every sleep/wake cycle. See this thread for an explanation of the symptom: computer name changed automatically
After doing some research on here and some experimentation on my own, I came up with this possible fix.
We have 3 iDevices that sync to the iMac (Yosemite). Two of them are connected to it by USB at night. The other (iPad Air) is strictly WiFi. As of the Yosemite upgrade, the iPad Air has had issues connecting to the iMac via WiFi. So today I checked on the iPad and sure enough in WiFi Sync prefs it was looking for "MyMac (3)" instead of "MyMac". I made sure the computer name on the iMac is fixed (MyMac), then connected the iPad Air to it to initiate a sync. In WiFi prefs, it now correctly points to "MyMac". I disconnected the iPad and quit out of iTunes. I relaunch iTunes and it promptly shows all 3 iDevices. I can also initiate a remote WiFi sync from within iTunes.
I'm not sure if the computer name change issue originated in Mavericks because I didn't use it for long. But for Yosemite, this seems to have fixed it for me and it beats restoring all my iDevices. Let me know if this works for you.

I phone not saving itunes music after sync with imac

When I sync my Iphone 4 with itunes on my iMac, it does not save my playlists or all of my music. When it is connected with the usb cable it shows up on the iphone but as soon as I disconnect it is gone. For some reason it is showing up on my ipad2 but I cannot shuffle any of the songs on the ipad I have to hit them one by one to play them or they just keep repeating themselves over and over.I do have them set up to wirelessly sync, but when I noticed my music was not there I tried to sync with the usb cable.When I plug in the iphone to the imac, I get a message that says no camera found same thing with the iPad2. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks Karen

I movie will not open and my project is missing

I'm getting "a project file is missing" message when I try to open the movie I've been working on. It says "The file “_” couldn’t be opened and is being skipped. Click “Ignore All” to skip any remaining missing file messages." I click ignore all and iMovie quits. I've been saving my movie to an external hard drive, which got unplugged before saving my latest changes and imports. I'm sure getting unplugged is the cause of my problem but I don't know how to fix it. The file still shows up as being on the external hard drive but I can't get it to open. And now imovie will not open at all. The external hardrive is compatible with my mac.
Thank you.

I'd try using Disk Utility to repair the external disk. Hopefully it will be able to repair any damage. (Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utility folder.
If you have the disk utility DiskWarrior, try that too.

I have a .me account, a yahoo account, and a microsoft exchange account all in the mail application. I receive mail on my mac, iphone, and ipad but after I read it I have to delete on each device to remove it.

I recently updated my iPad and when I went back to read a book that I had purchased now I'm getting an error message where whole chapters are missing. I tried re-syncing with my mac book and no luck. Any help to restore my book?

Try a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to do a time-consuming "Restore."

Airtunes and Cover Art

iTunes (v8) is running on my MacBook (OS X 10.5.6).
When I use airtunes to play my iTunes music from Macbook to the Apple TV (selecting the Apple TV as the speakers in iTunes) it does not display the cover art on the Apple TV. Music plays, and it shows the artist and track name, however the cover art is blank.
All of my iTunes music has cover art and is in Apple lossles format (.m4a).
What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.
I have iTunes running on my Macbook. When I play music on my MacBook, in the lower right corner of iTunes I can select the speakers I want the audio output to. I can select computer (local), airport express, Apple TV or any combination.
When I select the Apple TV, audio output from iTunes comes out of the speakers on my TV (where Apple TV is connected). On the TV it also shows the track info of the song playing and a progress bar. Unfortunately, it just shows a generic "musical note" symbol for cover art.
I'm assuming iTunes is also sending the track into, otherwise how would the Apple TV show the track info? Because Apple TV is showing an empty cover art image I'm also assuming it's supposed to send that too. What's wrong?

Why are iOS 8 and cover art incompatible?

Hi All,
First up let me apologise in advance about the quality of the photos i have attached but I think you will get the drift.
The examples immediately below are all taken from DVDs that I have converted to MPEG files and loaded into iTunes
I have installed iOS 8 on my iPad Air only. I discovered that it and cover art for movies and tv shows seem to be incompatible. Instead of the cover art there is a grey square with the title of the TV show in very small font in the middle.
This is what it looks like. Yes I know that is not grey. When opened there are another 3 grey squares.
The 3 squares represent 3 consecutive series
Then a series is selected, more grey squares. 3 episodes, it was a short season.
The two attachments below are what it looks like on the computer and what it looked like on the iPad before I updated to iOS 8
================================================================================ =========================================
Now something a bit different.
The following programme was bought and downloaded from iTunes. There is only one episode. I missed it when it was shown on TV.
The cover art seems normal. When the programme is opened there is still a grey area though.
It seems that if a programme with only one episode is added to iTunes the normal cover art is displayed. This is the case with movies. Even the movies that i have converted to MPEG files and loaded into iTunes displays normal cover art until the file is opened.
================================================================================ ========================================
I have tried only 2 remedies. I deleteted some cover art and put it back. Then I made the supreme sacrifice and re-installed iOS 8 which meant i had to start from scratch again. Failed to fix the problem. I do not intend updating my iPhone. I have an iPhone 6 Plus on order and if it arrives before Yosemite is released I will be putting it in the drawer until Yosemite is released.
That is all I can think of, wait for iOS 8.0.1 and hope that it fixes things or wait until Yosemite is released and see what happens. I realise I won't have any options O/S wise when i start using the iPhone 6 Plus.
Cover art is also behaving strangely when music playlists are selected. iPhoto on the iPad does not work any more either. Have to wait for "Photo" on Yosemite.

Thanks muchly Jonathan. Mostly worked for Cadfael except when i got to step 3, selecting episodes there were still 3 grey rectangles. having established that it basically worked i didn't try any more. Can't help wondering why it's not a problem with the movies though.
Thanks again Jonathan, looks much better now
Cheers :-)

Air 3.4 iOS Push Notification is not fired when app is not running and is not in background

Hello,
I'm making an Air iOS application which uses the iOS Push Notification from Air 3.4.
All is working perfectly except when I receive notifications when the app is not running and is not in background (The app is killed).
I suppose the RemoteNotificationEvent.NOTIFICATION must be dispatched when I receive a notification even if my app is not currently running or in background ?
Do you have already get the same issue ? Do you know what can prevent the notification to be handled ?
Thanks,
Loïc

issue has been fixed in the build available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air3-5.html.
You would now have to attach listener to InvokeEvent. For cases, when application is killed, InvokeEventReason will be InvokeEventReason.NOTIFICATION. The notification payload can be accessed by the following code
protected function onInvokeEvent(event:InvokeEvent):void
     trace("Invokehandler called .... \n");
     trace("reason: " + event.reason + "\n");
     if( event.reason == InvokeEventReason.NOTIFICATION)
                    var payload:Object = Object(event.arguments[0]);
          for (var i:String in payload)
                trace("Key:value pair " + i + ":" + payload[i] + "\n");
